I’ve often wondered, why the heck is the circled divided up in 360 degrees anyway? And why is a day divided in 24 hours, but then hours by 60 minutes, etc… I find myself doing the conversion so often I’ve considered getting the conversion 1″ = 4.848 urad tattooed to the back of my hand. Source: ESO īut as engineer, building a metric telescope with steel measured in metric, often have to convert form radians. The apparent diameter is almost 1 million times smaller than that of Mars. EHT image of black hole at the center of M87 – the first image of its kind. Back to the point of the post – fractions of arc-seconds is the way astronomers and astronomy fans use to keep measurements of the Universe in context. Lastly – the supermassive black hole recently imaged at the center of M87 had a diameter of about 50 micro-arcseconds using a technique resulting in unprecedented resolution. Imagine what treasures we might see when we get our resolution down to nano-arcseconds! (see gravitational lensing). So, it’s really hard to get high enough resolution to get a star to spread across multiple pixels. Betelgeuse, the red star in Orion, is one of the largest stars by angular diameter and has an apparent diameter of 50 thousands of an arc-second (or 50 milli-arcseconds) – which is the approximate resolution achieved by the Hubble Space Telescope. For example, the moon and the sun have apparent diameters of 30 arc-minutes diameter each, and Mars has an apparent angular diameter of 25 arc-seconds. Astronomers like to use units called arc-minutes and arc-seconds which subdivisions of a degree when viewing the sky.

Glossary entries can also be expanded manually with a combination key (see Nisus Writer Pro Guide).In astronomy, we tend to care a lot about really small angles. The glossary can be imported via Preferences → Quickfix → Import glossary.Ĭlick the checkbox in Quickfix to activate the glossary.Ĭhoose the menu command: Nisus Writer Pro > Preferences > QuickFix.Ĭheck Expand glossary entries as you type at the bottom of the Glossary Files list. Go to: User/Documents/Nisus Documents/Glossaries. The Cuneiform glossary is a file containing cuneiform signs and associated entries (abbreviations). A glossary is available for all documents. In Nisus Writer Pro, automatic text is linked with a glossary. Be sure to look in Hittite.dotx or Cuneiform.dotx (below).

Type the code of the autotext entry and then press F3. ThenĬhoose Insert in the Word menu, then Quick Part, then Autotext. In Word options, select Add-ins and then Manage templates.

Make a template or add-in available whenever you start Word.

Loading a template makes it available as a global template that you can use while you work with documents based on any other template. Templates can store styles, AutoText entries, AutoCorrect entries, macros, toolbars, custom menu settings, and shortcut keys.

AutoText is not available in the web app. In Microsoft Word, the cuneiform signs can be obtained using Autotext (Mac) and Quick Part (Windows). Variants are marked with “v” or “vv” after the entry: Assurbanipal The autotext “ma” gives the sign (U12220):Ĭompound signs, made of two or more signs in linear sequence: INDIGNA = MAŠ-GÚ-GÀR: autotext

For this purpose, a series of Latin characters are also encoded in these fonts (characters from the Cuneitruetype font with kind permission of Prof. It is thus possible to write in cuneiform without having to know the code points of the signs. The process consists in associating an automatic text entry to a sign or a group of signs. File templates are given for Word and Nisus.
